Overview

The SICK GL2S-N1312 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor featuring a square housing measuring 7.7 mm x 21.8 mm x 13.5 mm. It utilizes a visible red PinPoint LED light source with a wavelength of 640 nm to generate a focused light spot, specified as Ø 11 mm at a distance of 250 mm. The device operates within a detection range of 0.02 m to 3 m when paired with the PL40A reflector. It is designed for precise object detection in automated environments requiring compact integration and stable optical performance.

Feature Summary

• PinPoint LED technology provides a highly focused light spot for accurate detection of small targets
• Compact square housing design facilitates installation in space-constrained machinery applications
• Visible red light source allows for easy visual alignment and positioning during setup

Applications

• Automated material handling systems
• Packaging machine safety monitoring
• Industrial process automation
